Use molar mass and H bonding to determine. The higher molar mass (more van der Walls forces) the higher the b.p.
The more H bonding (polarity) the higher the b.p.
Butane, for example, would be the lowest b.p. You can look these up on google and see if you have them right.
Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing boiling point.
butanal
1-butanol
diethylamine
tartaric acid
butane
butanoic acid
and can you please explain why?
